Mike Essig
A poet must be willing
to walk naked through crowds,
hoping they are blind
while knowing they are not.

"Don't hide the madness."
Pour out the tears
From battered eyes
Into a rusted tin cup
Then forget about me
Because love betrayed
As it always seems to do
Leaving a grieving heart
In mourning, silently beating

Poetic T
The trees bend like twigs,
To wind that spares no branches,
Fallen trees of old.

No one can live your life

No one can relieve your strife

No one can change your heart

No one can do your part

No one can decide for you

    What you must do

But you

   A great responsibility
   Filled with great rewards.

   Never Give Up.
Watched a Johnny Cash at Folsum Prison presentation 10 minutes ago.

The space between the lines are left for you to fill in.

When some memories
Tug at your heart strings
Older tunes do play
Yesteryear lyrics on the lips
Hum away with nonchalance
Surrounded by nostalgia
Inadvertently enacting the past
Some memories do not fade
Remains etched forever
Deepest corners of life
Hide them away from present
Now and then they do come out
Taking over the present
